ROLLINSFORD -- Meet Harmon’s Snowshoemen, a company of men portraying veteran snowshoe soldiers lead by John Harmon, in the mid 18th century.

These men patrolled the harsh New England frontier to protect the settlements from incursions by French and Indian raiders. This event will provide people of all ages a colorful look into New England history and an opportunity to learn about the Snowshoemen, their lives, skills, weaponry, equipment and tactics.
